Weapons were seized from people in Cambridge after the police took action to clamp down on knife crime this weekend.

Cambridgeshire Police arrested six people on Friday (November 30) and Saturday (December 1), seizing a number of alarming objects, including a Samurai sword, a hunting knife and an extendable baton.

On Friday officers noticed two men acting suspiciously, leading to a chase. Officers arrested the men and collected a Samurai sword one of them discarded in the case. The second man was arrested with a hunting knife in his pocket.

On Saturday, officers were working to crack down on young people who carry weapons. They arrested four men at the Cambridge Leisure Park after a chase.

Officers arrested one for possessing an extendable baton, two for drugs offences and one who was wanted for a historical crime.

Cambridgeshire Police made two separate posts on Twitter informing people of its work to combat crime in the city.
